 How we pray? Heavenly Father, we come to you this evening and we thank you for your grace, wisdom and peace. Your word tells us to present our request to you in prayer. So this evening, we pray for Mayor Parker, our city councilmen and women, our city manager and their staff. We ask that you bless them and their families. You know the needs each one of them face personally and professionally and we ask that you encourage and strengthen each one of them today and throughout this year. As our city leaders meet this evening, fill them with the wisdom and knowledge of your perfect will and guide their decisions as they lead and serve the city of Fort Worth. May their leadership cause our city to flourish as they meet needs, solve problems and help people. And may their decisions reflect wisdom, courage and justice. We thank you and tonight we welcome your presence here in Jesus' name, amen. Items to be withdrawn from consent. There we go. We have four items to remove from the consent agenda. The first one is MNC 22-0250. The second one is MNC 22-0254. The third is MNC 22-0276. And the fourth is MNC 22-0277. Items to be continued or withdrawn by staff. And there are no items to be continued or withdrawn by staff. Next item is a consideration of the consent agenda as amended. If I can get a motion. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion passes. Next item is MNC 22-0254. Authorize execution of an interlocal agreement with the Regional Transportation Council, the North Central Texas Council of Government and the Terrant Regional Water District. And authorize the settlement. I think that's the wrong item. Oh, all right. 25-0, that's okay. Next item is to adopt an attached ordinance amending the fiscal year 2021-2022 adopted budget and five-year service plan for the Fort Worth Public Improvements District 14, Trinity Bluff, and to adopt the attached appropriation ordinance. We have one speaker this evening, Thomas Torland-Cosse. Mayor Parker, council members. Make sure there's a quorum up there. Fellow citizens and neighbors and young people who are trustworthy, low-helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. I wanted to comment on this because a lot of Fort Worth citizens don't know that some of these public improvement districts and TIFF's tax improvement funds overlap a lot of the territorial space that TRWD is holding land in. A couple points to make related to that is there's a little bit of money involved here. I think half a million dollars a year is taxed specifically for residential properties. There aren't a lot of residential properties right now in this space. It's underdeveloped. The questions that I have and that the Water District Accountability Project have, which is composed of a number of both conservatives and progressives, is where does that fit in the pecking order given the amount of vacant space and unused commercial space both in downtown and the hundreds of acres that TRWD holds on the future Panther Island as well as the land that borders on the outside of the rim of the, so basically across the river, including these bluffs. The management of the bluffs, this contract I believe goes to downtown Fort Worthink. It's about a half a million dollars a year. It grows a little bit each fiscal year. Later in the agenda, you're gonna hear that downtown Fort Worthink gets another contract, which is substantially more for a different space. So in the interest of fiscal responsibility and some of the public-private partnerships that are not nearly as reliable as they used to be, I just wanna make the council cognizant that TRWD holds a lot of land that they report to be remediated. I noticed that Steve Christian from TRWD is here tonight, but they're never clear on which lots have been remediated and in what ways and to what extent. A lot of times, a lot of the data that comes from TRWD is a shuffle, not only on the environmental compliance, but what measures they took on which pieces of land. And I think that the land that TCC, that's right, Tarrant County College swapped included land on the bluffs for land in the middle of what will be the island. And none of us are clear whether the land that they gave up is the polluted land or whether they assume responsibility for land in the middle of the island that is still polluted. Thank you, that's lots of our speakers, council. Gonna get a motion. Got a motion from Mr. Fireson in a second. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion passes. Next item is MNC 22-0254, authorized execution of an interlocal agreement with the Regional Transportation Council, the North Central Texas Council of Government and the Tarrant Regional Water District, and authorized a settlement agreement with Frees and Nichols, Inc. for claims associated with the Trinity River Central City Bridge Project. Thank you. We've got one speaker, Thomas Turlin-Cosse. Madam Mayor and council members, fellow citizens again, thank you for being patient with me. I promise you I represent hundreds of people who have questions about the TRWD project and the three bridges and the cost overruns. Here we have an amount of $5 million and another amount of a million and a half dollars that just gets piled on top of the 115, 120, depends on what day of the week you talk to someone like Sandy Mooby as to what those bridges have actually cost all of us. The city probably reluctantly is kicking in that's one and a half million dollars and of course, COG is kicking in five million. If you don't know what the North Central Texas Council of Governments are, we all support that too. So some slice of this $5 million comes from forward taxpayers also. What's tough about this is, is that we keep calling for a forensic audit because we have the documents ourselves that indicate a number of wasteful, corrupt, graph filled transactions by TRWD. What this money is doing specifically and I wanna go ahead and call it out is bailing out JD Granger specifically who's responsible for the choice of the three bridges in their design and that they are now at five times the original projected cost and they took nearly three times as long. They go over dry land still today. If you haven't seen the letter from the district attorney that did a thorough investigation, at least the white collar division did, but Sharon Wilson's letter doesn't say that there weren't crimes committed at TRWD. It says that the crimes that may have been committed were federal crimes and not her jurisdiction. It says that there may have been crimes committed but she believes that the statute of limitations have expired. She also in her letter says that she is not responsible civilly or criminally for open public record compliance or open public meeting compliance, but in fact, the state statutes specifically spells out that the district attorney of Tarrant County has the first responsibility before going to district court or before going to federal court as we had to do. What I recommend the city council do is to not pass over this another one and a half million that's part of a 20 million new claim from Sterling and ask for two specific things from TRWD. No longer let a freezing nickels salesperson sit on the TRVA board. He is literally able to participate in insider trading and direct contracts to his firm. Separately fund the forensic audit and independent audit. Not an audit by Whitley Penn, which is Glenn Whitley, the county judge and not an accounting firm that TRWD gets to pick but an independent forensic audit and watch where all the money came from. That's a lot of our speakers, council of a motion. Thank you. In a second. Motion a second. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion carries. Next item is MMC 22-0276, authorized to purchase of a jet boat for the municipal court department using cooperative purchase contract number GS0750410W from the U.S. General Services Administration through the property management department. We have one speaker council, Thomas Trollin-Cosse. Madam Mayor, I wanted to point out that the votes when they appear up here only show four votes. Well, we've got two on screen here for quorum. They're working on that electronic piece. Yeah. Yeah, I just want to make sure that it actually is five or more votes. Yeah, thank you. All right. So we can't see who didn't vote or who might have abstained or... You can actually, because you can be, can y'all see their faces okay up there? Excellent. Thank you. Go ahead, Thomas. All right, sorry. This looks a lot like the Bearcat. Remember a few weeks ago, the police department wanted a Bearcat, a third vehicle that was a special purpose vehicle. This is a jet boat. I believe that the Marshall service is primarily responsible for patrolling on Lake Worth. The thing about Lake Worth is that a jet boat doesn't do really well in that amount of shallow water. And I'm not sure how many quick short bursts of speed they need given the kinds of enforcement historically they do, they do own a number of boats and it might've made sense to replace the kind of boats they already have. But even more importantly, what the Marshall service needs is body cameras. They specifically need body cameras in every single person, including when you enter the entrances here at City Hall because there have been problems in the past where the video did not record what happens before. Thomas, I hate to do this but I have to keep you on message for this item. Thank you very much. All right. I have you spend the money on body cameras and on a jet boat. Duly noted. Thank you very much. That's lots of our speakers, Council. I can get a motion and a second. Thank you. Any other discussion? Please vote. Let's hope we pick the electronic items here for me. Got two yeses from, there we go, motion passes. The next item is MNC 22-0277, authorized the execution of a lease agreement with Alliance for Children, Inc. to be used by the Fort Worth Police Department Crimes Against Children Unit at a rental rate of $2,500 per month. We have one speaker this evening, Adrienne Smith. Were we able to reach Adrienne? Okay. Yes. Go ahead, Adrienne. You have three minutes. Okay, okay. Thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to speak in regards to the agenda item. Good evening to everyone present at the stand on my voice. Having did my research on this particular organization, I wasn't against anything proposed for this particular organization, considering that they do so much for our youth and our children. So I want who believes in protection of children by any means necessary. But when I saw that the police partnership was taking place, that's why I had a pause. Because I felt as if it was just more money being given to what I consider the police's slush fund to do whatever it is that they want to do when they should be able to put their own bills considering the taxpayers have already voted in a 10-year millions of dollars to their CCPD fund. And so if this was to be a police initiative, something that deal with law enforcement, then they should be able to take care of that themselves. Having spoken to a gentleman, he gave me a card, explained the process to me of how everything works. I had a better understanding of the overall situation. So I am not against anything that this organization represents or stands for. My thing was just basically you just making sure law enforcement wasn't being given more money to do whatever it is they're already doing when they've already been given money to do whatever it is they need to do. So with that being said, what they've been said, I just want everyone to be mindful. Mr. Nettles, Mr. Williams and Ms. Beck, y'all also just you three be just be mindful of what I said weeks ago. You all are now in the cross areas of the POA, but like I say, you all continue to vote your conscience and stand on what you believe in. I don't want none of our council members should come under attack because of the way they vote. So with that being said, thank you all for taking my call. Thomas, keep doing what you're doing. Shout out to Bob Willoughby and all the good, poor, worse citizens out there. Thank you. That's a lot of our speakers. At an abundance of caution, I'm gonna ask either Chief Noakes or Assistant Chief Aldridge or Swarington to come down and maybe just describe what this MNC does. I think it'd be important for those that are in attendance this evening. Thanks Chief, sorry to put you on the spot. Mayor and council, and you're not putting me on the spot any time I get to talk about our efforts to protect the children of Fort Worth, I am more than happy to talk about it. This is a beautiful facility. It was originally the Sanderra Center, an event center that's been remodeled specifically for investigations involving children. The facility has been set up with victims in mind. It's a trauma-informed care for children who are victims of violence. It provides safe places for them and their families. We have resources on site for the victims along with our investigators who are investigating these crimes. If we did not have this space, the services that we could provide to children victims of Fort Worth would be compromised a great deal and we hope this passes. Thank you very much Chief, we appreciate it. With that council, I can get a motion. Yes, Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve this MNC. And I'd like to echo the Chief's comments and say that this Alliance for Children is the only organization in Tarrant County as a nonprofit that is directly involved in the protection of children from abuse. And that is coordinated with not just the police department, with entities like Cook Children's Medical Center, JPS Network, Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office, et cetera. So I wholeheartedly move to approve. Thank you, Carlos. And a second council. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion passes. Next item is a presentation of the Fort Worth police explorers. Wonderful. I think Chief Nokes is gonna join us again. Mayor and council, thank you so much for the opportunity to recognize some amazing young people in Fort Worth. Would you please join me and stand back here with me? Any officers that are able? So we're here to talk about our amazing Fort Police Department Explorer program, which is the way we are blessed to be able to empower young people in Fort Worth. And it's also a great recruiting tool. Our Fort Worth Police Explorer program has been around for over 40 years. Our officers have had the opportunity to work with thousands of youth throughout all of our communities, mentoring them, training with them, and leading them to a great career opportunity in law enforcement. Our youth meet weekly and train with their officers, learning all aspects of the criminal justice system and what it takes to become an law enforcement officer. They also participate in regional law enforcement competitions throughout the state of Texas and throughout the nation. Several of our senior youth explorers and a handful of our junior explorers recently participated in the Metroplex Youth Law Enforcement Competition in Grand Prairie, Texas. That was on March 5th. We took two competition teams of four explorers for a total of eight. And it's important to note there were officers that attended, many of whom were explorers themselves. For several of the competing explorers, it was their very first law enforcement competition and we are very proud of all of them because they all did an outstanding job at the competition. Here are some of the awards they won. For team one, first place overall team at the entire competition. First place officer down scenario. Second place is crisis negotiation scenario. Second place felony traffic stop scenario and third place in the domestic disturbance scenario. Team two did not want to be outdone. They also got the first place in the suicidal person scenario. Not only is this a great way for us as I said to work with youth in our neighborhoods, it's also become a great recruiting tool. We have one here who's actually joined our civilian response unit. And we hope within the next few years when he's old enough, we'll also see him as a member of the fourth police department. What I'd like to do, they have no idea I'm doing this, but part of being a police officer is engaging, speaking before groups of people and introducing yourself. So I'm gonna ask all of you one at a time, just your name and your age, that's all we need. We'll do that. And I would like to one person who is now a member of our civilian response unit to make that known as well. He's probably got a huge smile on his face right now. Start down here. My name is Piper Turbridge, and I'm 17 years old. My name is Abby Othores, and I'm 17 years old. My name is Zander Fries, and I'm 17 years old. My name is Medruin Graves, and I'm 17 years old. My name is Etna Pretado, and I'm 20 years old. My name is Bienvenue Ishimmi, and I'm 21 years old. And? And just joined the CRU unit. My name is Caleb Smith, and I'm 18 years old. We give them a round of applause. They've been so great. And that round of applause is also for the officers you see behind them. This is a group that supports these young people day in and day out, gives it themselves to make sure they're doing everything they can to make sure they're successful. Thank you for you as well. It's awesome. Now, Mayor, if I understand, we're gonna be able to get a picture with you. I'm coming down, yes sir. Let's do that. The next item is upcoming and recent events, recognition of citizens, and approval of ceremonial travel if needed. To my knowledge, there are none. Is that correct? Two. I'll keep going, okay. Councilman Floros, I'll call on you first. Ready to go. Thank you, Mayor. All right, if we can get the slideshow up, guys. Thank you. All right, March 26th, they attended the first annual Countdown Burger Showdown at River and Stockyards. Find out who had the best burger around. So, it was a celebrity judge there, and, well, put a lot of effort in it to get so many burgers down my throat, but it was a delicious endeavor. And it also benefited the Brotherhood for the Fallen, Texas-based 501C3, non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting officers' families who have been killed in the line of duty. So, a wonderful endeavor. First place, Danes Craft Barbecue. Second place, Slaughter Barbecue. Third place, Grease Monkeys Burgers. Try those places out, you won't be disappointed. And let's see, next slide. April 6th, Cesar Chavez Celebration. It was his birthday recently, the historic north side. They were at Cafe Asul in some pictures from about a year ago when we finally got those designated street topper signs there, including signage at the I-35 entrance there to 28th Street and on Texas 199. So, it's Fort Worth's first designated honor, honoring civil rights leaders, Cesar Chavez, including Dolores Huerta. Next slide, please. All right. We attended the recent bond public meeting over at the Northwest Library in North Fort Worth. We covered the topics of the bond, including the charter amendments that were being proposed, great attendance, even folks from outside District 2, came by, appreciate all the staff for being there, handy to field specific questions from the crowd and appreciate everyone that came out. Next slide, please. Okay, again, over at the stockyards. We honored some local legends, among them, dear friend, a hub baker who was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame. So, I gave some introductory comments there. It was a great celebration, and I learned a lot about the history of the organization. And in fact, the actual Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame is located in the historic Coliseum. Go on by and see what people made that organization, what it is today, including livestock. Thank you very much. Thank you, Carlos. And then, Councilmember Beck. All right, so this past weekend, Main Street Arts Festival came back after a two-year hiatus, and it was really great to see so many folks down in downtown Fort Worth, and then in conjunction with the Main Street Arts Festival. Next slide. We had the Fort Worth Art Fair in its first year, and so there's a couple photos of the food and the art and the musicians that you saw at that particular event. Next slide. We also had the Downtown Fort Worth Inc. annual meeting, which was a great success and a really highlighted everything that we're doing downtown to make Fort Worth successful. Next slide. I had the opportunity to join the Young Women's Leadership Academy, and my colleague, Chris Nettles, came out and joined us as well at Opal's Farm this past weekend for a community service project. Chris and I learned that we are not, we're pretty okay council folks, but we are terrible farmers, so I trust you that we'll be back here. Next slide. Coming up May 1st, we have our Ward Parkway Median dedication at this Berkeley Place Neighborhood Association. They've been working on this improvement for several years now, and so it's pretty exciting to see it come together. Next slide. It is festival season in District 9, so we also have Arts Goggle coming up on the 23rd up and down Magnolia. I hope that you'll join us. There's two stages, lots of great musicians and local artists. Next slide. Continuing with our festival season, Mayfest is coming up May 5th through 8th in Trinity Park, and so it is the 50th anniversary, and I hope to see you all there, and I think that is it. Thank you, Elizabeth.

MMC 22-0269, conduct public hearing considering the following matters relating to the Fort Worth Public Improvement District Number 18, tourism pin, one expansion of the tourism pin to include one additional hotel property and the advisability of the improvements and services to be undertaken into the 2021 assessment for the additional hotel, fine for the sufficiency of the attached petition requesting expansion of the tourism pin, approve the filing of the attached revised 2021 assessment role, report by city staff, Crystal Hinanosa. Good evening, Mayor Parker and members of city council. My name is Crystal Hinahosa and I'm the PID administrator in the Economic Development Department. The purpose of today's public hearing is to receive comments from the public on the advisability of expanding the boundaries of the Fort Worth tourism PID to include one additional hotel property. Notification of today's public hearing was melt to all property owners within the PID on March 25th, 2022 and published in the Star Telegram in compliance with chapter 372 of Texas local government code. Section 372-0121 of the code allows the city council to include properties into the tourism PID so long as they meet the requirements of the code. The property owners or their duly authorized representatives for four points at Sheraton Hotel located at 6828 North Freeway, Fort Worth, Texas, 76102 have signed a petition requesting inclusion within the tourism PID. This results in an increase to 79.93% of appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment and to 67.60% of the area of taxable real property liable for assessment and to 64.91% of record owners liable for assessment because the percentages are all still above 60% threshold, the four points by Sheraton Hotel meets the above stated elements, therefore may be considered for inclusion into the tourism PID. The total estimated cost for services and improvements for the remaining life of the tourism PID approximately six years is 27,737,196 dollars which includes estimated costs of 3.95 million for the fiscal year 2022. Following receipt of any public comments, staff recommends that city council close today's public hearing and approve MNC 22-0269 finding the petition to expand the tourism PID be sufficient approving the filing of the revised 2021 assessment role with city secretary and setting a second benefit hearing for April 26, 2022 for final approval of the expansion including a levy of assessments. There is a representative with visit for worth here to answer any questions regarding and I'm also available. Thank you, Crystal. We have one speaker, Thomas Trollen-Cosse. Mayor Parker, fellow citizens and neighbors, council members, look like when we browse this three other citizens and I looked at this quickly this afternoon that this is about $26 million over the next five or six years. One of the problems with this and I am staying on subject that isn't displayed on the screen and the people here in the room or on TV can't see is what the expenditures are for spending this five or $6 million a year. One of the problems we have in Fort Worth is our residential taxes are going up pretty significantly. And we're one of those cities where a very small proportion of the revenues for property taxes is shared by the corporate or business property owners. That's been a massive shift over the last 20 years. The second issue that we point out is that none of these outlays are for tangible items. Even the promotion of public art which is a line item in the budget doesn't buy a piece of art. There are landscaping expenses and a number of other expenses that are public relations, marketing. A lot of this money goes to consulting or outside contractors to promote tourism. And we're gonna have some new challenges over the next year because of tourism and because of recovering from COVID. But this is one of those budget items that are separate from the regular city budget and it's called surrendering or participating. So these $26 million could be used for roads, lights, bridges, infrastructure. A number of things including emergency services improvements and the council even prior to this council has a tendency to continue to kind of cut out a little chunk of money here, a little chunk of money there. And there's lots of 20 and 30 and $50 million special budgets that independent private public contractors are responsible spending our tax dollars. So I'm just encouraging the council that when you approve this, because of course the staff language assumed that no matter what someone stands up here and says you're gonna vote for it, that it's our money that you're spending. Thank you, Thomas. I'm gonna motion from councilor Rebek. I moved to close the public hearing and approve MNC number 22-0269, finding that the petition requesting expansion of the tourism pit is legally sufficient, approving the filing of the revised 2021-2022 assessment role in setting the final benefit hearing for April 26, 2022. Thank you and a second council. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion carries. MMC 22-0292, conduct public hearing and authorize the use of a portion of Carter Park located at 4351 Carter Park Drive for a sanitary sewer maintenance area for the installation of a sanitary sewer line. Report by Richard Zavala. Thank you. I'm Richard Zavala with the Park and Recreation Department.

MMC 22-0255, conduct public hearing, authorized execution of municipal service agreement and adopt ordinance for the proposed owner-initiated annexation of land in Denton County known as North Point 186, located south of Highway 114, west of Farm to Market 156, Blue Mound Road, and east of John Day Road in the far north planning sector, AX 22-001. Good evening, Mayor. Council Members, my name is Stuart Campbell, I'm planning and development office. Today's public hearing, we're gonna talk about, this is related to an annexation case, AX 22-001, known as North Point 186. This is a 186.229 acre only initiated annexation known as North Point 186. This is in the North Fort Worth area and is more specifically located south of Highway 114, west of Farm Market Road 156, which is known as Blue Mound Road and east of John Day Road in Denton County. The property is currently vacant land. The property owner is proposing the site for industrial type development. For the Texas Local Government Code, the city held one public hearing on the proposed owner-initiated annexation to receive public comments. The notice was posted on the city's website on March 30th, 2022. The post of notice includes date of public hearing, the legal description, the draft of municipal service agreement and a map at Kizibik. It was published on the Star-Tell Gram on April 1st, 2022. As a full-purpose annexation, the city will enforce all ordinances and regulations, provide all services as stated in the municipal service agreement. And this annexation is associated with the zoning case ZC-22023, which was approved by city council on March 9th, 2022. And it's also on tonight's council agenda. Tonight's action requested of city council is closing of the public hearing after a brief moment of comment, taking action on the municipal service plan and the annexation request. Thank you very much. Council Member Firestone. I'd like to move to close the public hearing and make a motion to approve. And a second council. Thank you. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion carries. Next item is ZC-22-023. 1,100 to 1,200 blocks of bolt ruler road from Unzone to K Heavy Industrial, recommended for approval by the Zoning Commission related to annexation AX-22-001.

The public hearing is related to annexation case AX-21-014. This particular public hearing, this site is related to a 47.26 acre owner initiated limited purpose annexation. It's part of an overall 431 acre tradition municipal utility district, also just located north of State Highway 114 in Denton County. The limited purpose annexation is to authorize the city to zone the property in lieu of regulating uses and development standards for the property pursuant to the development agreement. The limited purpose annexation is associated with zoning case ZC-21190, which recommended for approval by the zoning commission on November 10th, 2021 and is on council's agenda tonight for consideration. The 47.26 acre property will be fully purpose annexed by the city when the city annexes the entire tradition municipal utility district in accordance with the development agreement and state law. We have prepared a regulatory plan with the property owner and have provided public notice in the newspaper on the city's website. Upon the limited purpose annexation, the property will be subject to the zoning ordinance ZC-21190. I'm available for any questions if you might have any. Thank you very much. Councilor Flores, we only have one speaker on the side of it, only if there's opposition, which there is none. Leonard. I'd like to make a motion to close the public hearing and approve the M&C.

Thank you. We have two speakers. One that there's no opposition. There is none and one and Gerald Luckey. Does Gerald want to speak? No. Hi Gerald, come on down. And I probably mispronounced your name, I apologize. No, you did excellent. Oh, we do. Thank you. Next page, okay. Okay, great. Thank you very much. And I'm gonna correct myself. We do have one speaker in opposition. So Marcella Olson, if you'd like to come down also at some point, you're welcome to go ahead, please. Okay, my name is Gerald Luckey. I'm with Hades architecture 13642. I'll make a road in Dallas and I'm here for a brief presentation. Steven, do we have a presentation to pull up? Oh, okay. I've got Yeah, I've got a flash drive. All right. The, just a very short history. The property as previously stated was had a limited purpose annexation. And now we're going through an additional limited purpose annexation for purposes of zoning and for the city to administer the zoning process. And that was at the request of the city. We were closely with staff, with Steven Murray, Dana Bergdorf and feel very fortunate to have been able to present this to you tonight. The zoning's for mixed use development. I got a variety of residential offerings, including one-story villas, small cottage residences, some density retail on the road tracks on the west side of the property, and then supporting retail restaurants, office and indoor climate control storage with retail on the first level. So it truly is a mixed use project. Go through and see, we have a site plan here. Here's a suggested site plan that we have today with again the retail restaurant supporting services along 114, the higher density retail on railroad track and then the villas in the rear along with office and a park area along what we call our main street or spine road that runs east-west through the property. We do meet the purpose and the intent of the ME-2 district in a pedestrian urban oriented form, creativity, sustainability, walkability, housing and mixed income communities. And we have, as I said, the multifamily as well as the villas. These villas are a quality product. They are maintained by a common property management and they are also a variety of different offerings. We reached out to the neighborhood and homeowners groups and got positive response from those including Rivers Edge, Cherry Creek, North Forkworth Alliance and North Forkworth ISD. So we're happy to answer any further questions. Thank you, Gerald, appreciate it. Our next speaker would be Marcella Olson. If she'd like to speak, hi, Marcella. I don't believe I need to speak. Okay, thank you. Our next speaker is Bob Willoughby. Well, the reason I sign up to speak on this is because I saw high density and we've got too many apartments, too much high density and everything, but also the reason I spoke on this sign up to speak because we don't have a public presentation anymore to speak on. What I gotta say is that, well, anyway, it doesn't matter what I say or anybody says, I do not recognize these people as a legitimate council because they vote as a block. We're just not gonna do that this evening. If you'd like to speak on this zoning item, I'd be happy to hear it. Okay, well, anyway, I'm not for any more apartments. And anyway, I appreciate you taking away our rights to speak at City Council. Council Member Firestone. I'd like to make a motion to approve. Thank you. And a second, Council? Second. Any other discussion? Please vote. Motion carries. ZC-21-197, 1550 Everman Parkway and 8801 Oak Grove from E neighborhood commercial to D high density multi-family recommended for approval by the Zoning Commission continued from a previous meeting. One speaker this evening, Phillip Kingston. Greetings, Council. My name's Phillip Kingston 5901 Palo Pinto Avenue in Dallas, Texas. It's a nice to be here with you this evening. Very proud to be representing Winnerbury Development who's the applicant in the case before you. You've heard it before in March. It was continued. These are a little more than 200 market rate apartments in the Everman School District right next to Everman's central office and to the north of an early learning center. I gave you rendering so you can kind of see the high quality nature of these apartments. The page that's probably most important from the standpoint of the only opposition that existed to this case is the second to the last one which comes from your staff's own briefing. And what I want you to understand about this project is that the only ingress and egress will be on Oak Grove and we will not be putting more traffic next to the early learning center. It was communicated to us after the last hearing that the school district had concerns about safety for pedestrians, which is very understandable. After meeting with them yesterday, they are satisfied that Winnerbury is a good partner for preserving safety and they are now in favor of this project. Winnerbury is a minority owned business. Since 2009, it has built affordable and market rate apartments throughout North Texas. This is all market rate because we got feedback from the community that they did not care to have an affordable component in this project. Winnerbury is a core builder. It only builds to hold and operate and it is never sold nor does it want to sell any of its projects. I think what we have shown, your staff has been very kind to recommend approval of this project because I think what it shows is in coordination with the comprehensive plan, this is an area of town that needs housing. There's not an area of town that doesn't need housing, really, but this is the kind of housing that this community needs. Even though this is market rate, it will still be affordable to people making just slightly more than $40,000 a year. Yet these apartments be very high quality and have a lot of amenities. The last page I attached to the presentation that I gave to you is a floor plan for our clubhouse. The clubhouse will be made available after communication with the Everett School District for parents, teachers, and students to use and it has a business center for children to be able to access the internet. It has a warming kitchen if there's a PTA meeting that needs refreshments. These are things that we're gonna try to do in addition to reduced rent for teachers and police officers. We would very much appreciate your support for this project and available for any questions. Thank you, Phillip. Council Member Beck. Move to approve. Second, Council. In their discussion, please vote. Good to see Councilman. Motion passes. ZC-22-009 4329 East Rosdale Street from A-5 slash says, SS one stop, stop six overlay to E slash SS neighborhood commercial stop six overlay recommended for approval by the Zoning Commission continued from a previous meeting. Thank you, Bob Willoughby. Wait, I may be on the wrong item. I am. Sorry, Bob, I didn't mean to fake you out. Wrong item. I think I signed up for this. That's my bad, my bad.

Council Member Flores. Thank you, Mayor. Just wanted to say I appreciate the developer meeting finally with discussing the proposed car wash with the Northwest Alliance. Concerns however remained with the proposed development that involve inshore TRWD spillway, emergency spillway traffic and concentration of existing uses. Therefore I move to continue this case to the second council zoning meeting, which I believe staff correct me if I'm wrong is on June 28th. Is that correct? No. Okay, what is the date then? Ron's verifying just second. The 14th, okay. All right, so corrected June 14th. Thank you, Carlos. I'm gonna go second council. Thank you. Any other discussion? Please vote. I don't know if you don't mind voting for me for some reason I didn't pick up. Thank you. Motion to continue passes. I'm gonna call on Council Member Firestone for a moment for reconsideration. I'd like to make a motion to reconsider zoning case 22009. Thank you. I've got a second council. Any other discussion? Please vote. Just a moment. Carrie and Jared, sorry if I miss you, can you give me thumbs up? Thank you. Motion to, well this is a motion for reconsideration. Now we have to go back and do a reconsider, a new vote to continue ZC 22-009. If I can get a motion council. Thank you. And a second. Thank you. And while we're voting, if I can help the petitioners that we didn't have any speakers on this item, but just please make an appointment. Go ahead. To continue to what date? I guess the next zoning commission hearing. April 26th. April 26th, but if you could meet with Council Member Mayor Pro Tem Bivens in the meantime, and this is an item that was on her agenda and she really wanted to be present and meet with you. So if you don't mind reaching out to her office, that's the reason we continued it. Apologies on our behalf. We'd gotten that message wrong. Thank y'all for being here this evening. Appreciate you.

MMC 22-0270 approve allocation of five million in funds from the American Rescue Plan Act for the development of permanent supportive housing. Thank you. We have a few speakers this evening. Our first is Bob Willoughby. Well, the problem I have with affordable housing is the way you're doing things. There's no, have you ever seen how they haul chickens and little carts and they pack them on their truck and carry them? That's your ideal affordable housing. It's put people in little apartments. I don't ever see money for affordable houses with a yard or for families or anything big. I see more of that's what I see. When I see affordable housing, that's all I see. And actually we don't need affordable, housing could be more affordable. If developers weren't so, it's the developers, the money, they take a little bitty area. They could build a bigger area and a house or at the same price, but they gotta have so much money for their pocket. So if we had council members that would stand up to these developers a little bit, maybe get a little bit better affordable housing for the same price, a bigger yard for kids to grow up in. That would be good. And quit putting all these freaking apartments in here. We're understaffing police by over 300. I mean, we have, it's just unbelievable how bad the city's off balance. And you just keep adding, that's all we saw, not long. Town homes, multiple families, nothing about 821, nothing about 841, nothing about 75 homes, you never seen anything about 75. Bob, anything related to permanent supportive housing? No, anyway, I appreciate it. I'm against affordable housing until we get real council members to marry in. Okay, one that won't take away your rights to speak. Nice to see you, Bob. Thank you. Our next speaker is Liesl Manoni. Very much for my strength in that. I apologize. Thank you so much. Robin, Robin Mikalov. Robin does have a group. If you'll just stand if you're with Robin, that'd be fine. We'll just count that way. You don't have to read names. That's more than sufficient. Thank you all so much. Thank you. Robin Mikalov, Fort Worth. And good evening, mayor and council members. Thanks for allowing me this opportunity to speak about Fort Worth's leadership as it pertains to affordable housing. But first, I have a very important question. Where were you in December, 1984? The average age of this council is young, so maybe you don't remember that age too distinctly. I was turning eight that winter and was probably worried about what toys I would play with during winter break. But it was not so for a few compassionate and courageous leaders in Fort Worth that winter who formed the Presbyterian night shelter to give dignity and hope to residents experiencing homelessness. And for over 37 years, the night shelter has served hundreds of thousands of people on their journey to homes. And you weren't involved in that decision in 1984, but I appreciate the legacy because of my connection to the shelter as a minister at First Presbyterian Church, which helped found it and now as a current board member. In addition to the night shelter, I serve on the continuum of care board and I am currently serving as board chair of Trinity Habitat for Humanity. I'm involved with Room in the End, a network of faith communities that provide a night of respite for those experiencing homelessness. Members of my congregation are on many boards of organizations that are directly related to housing and homeless services. And so I'm here, this is maybe a novel for you, but I'm here first to thank you. Thank you council and mayor for the opportunity to make this comment about $5 million, this investment that you're considering in permanent supportive housing. Thank you for your sustained dedication over many, many, many years to address the needs of those experiencing homelessness in our city. I'm truly grateful and I'm proud to live in a city in which the leadership values all human life and lifts up the needs of its most vulnerable citizens. Fort Worth is a leader in this area and I'm very grateful. And as you may know, First Presbyterian Church is also deeply concerned and committed to the issues of housing and dignity. In addition to helping found the Presbyterian night shelter, did you know we started Meals on Wheels in the church kitchen and we started a day program inside our church walls that later became the James L. West Center. We are founding partner of Trinity Habitat for Humanity and we'll build our 100th house next month. We have hosted Homeless Connect for over a decade and we began a little clothing closet in a tiny room in our church that now is a 10,000 square foot building that Elizabeth was there and Beck was there to help dedicate that serves over a thousand people a month with free dental care, groceries, clothing, ESL, et cetera. And a few years ago, sensing the deep need for more affordable housing with lawns and spaces for growth, our church met with you, Councilman Flores, and gave a million dollar gift to launch New Leaf Community Services and began construction on Quail Trail with within the month will be fully occupied with 48 chronically homeless adults. And in this endeavor, we work to create a viable public-private partnership working with the city and foundations together and I'm so grateful that we came together to do this. You all know that in addition to Quail Trail, Casa de Esperanza was created in 2020 with CARES Act Dollars and because of Fort Worth investment, you all helped move 119 people off the streets and out of shelter. In fact, this enabled us to move the single largest group of unsheltered people off the streets at one time. During the pandemic, with around 70 people who were on the streets but now call Casa home. And especially as we have learned in the last two years, housing makes a difference both to the people involved and to the community at large. It takes all of us to address this issue. We might come from different motivations and perspectives, but we have shown that we can work together to make an impact that changes lives and communities. You are wonderful partners and Fort Worth is a shining example of how these partnerships move the needle of eradicating homelessness by providing affordable housing. I say all this as a person deeply committed to these issues as a citizen and a board member and a partner, but foremost, tonight I make this comment to you as a pastor. I have joyfully served for 17 and a half years as a clergy member in our community. And just last Wednesday at our weekly worship service that I lead attended by many people who are experiencing homelessness. I sat at a table with a woman who was sobbing, telling me that she could not pay her rent. Her landlord increased the rent by more than 15% and her husband's unexpected illness left him without work for weeks. Her salary alone couldn't make ends meet. She didn't know where she could live or where to turn to. And so we just sat at that table and cried, what is she to do and what am I to tell her? It's for situations such as these, I encourage you to consider investing in housing by dedicating additional dollars that can go to deeply affordable housing. In addition to the 15 million, you also generously dedicated to PSH development. The homeless coalition submitted an ask to the city for additional funding in the amount of 24.5 million. You're considering the five million and I thank you for that. By dedicating the additional 19.5 million, it could primarily be used to build deeply affordable housing for families and others who cannot make ends meet. Think of it this way. What will citizens and the city council afford where I say in 2060, 38 years from now about our decisions and priorities in the spring of 2022? Well, they look back like I do on 1984 and commend us that through a global pandemic, y'all were committed to building and making priorities. What will our legacy be? Thank you. Thank you very much. That's a lot of our speakers on this item. Council Member Beck. Thank you. Thank you, Robin. They say the greatness of a society is to be found in how it treats its most vulnerable. Tonight, our city will show our greatness. Our ARPA funds gave us the opportunity to make generational change to truly transform our community. And with this vote tonight, that is exactly what we'll be doing for our homeless population here in Fort Worth. I wanna personally thank Tara Perez and Terence Hamilton, who is not here with us this evening, with our city's directions home. Lauren King, who I see sitting out there in the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition, for Nino Costa for all of his work, David Cook for all of his work, and not to be, not last but not least, all of the people that you see here in this room tonight and the hundreds of people, the advocates, the social workers, the religious organizations, the volunteers that work every day to heal our community and lift up our homeless. And so with that, I'm incredibly honored to move to approve this $5 million to double down on permanent supportive housing and end chronic homelessness here in Fort Worth. Thank you, Elizabeth. And you got a second council? Thank you. Before we vote, I'll just add a few remarks. First would be to thank all the people that only came out tonight, but also the dozens that wrote really thoughtful comment cards on this topic. Those aren't read by each of us. I just wanted to assure those that maybe stayed at home this evening that we appreciated their advocacy on this issue. We know that we can't solve homelessness without housing. That seems pretty simple, but sometimes some communities struggle with that. And in Fort Worth, we are committed to making really bold investments, and we continue to do so thanks to the leadership of Lauren King and Tara Perez and Fernando Costa and others across this community. A historic amount of funding through ARPA has been open to store for us to really focus on permanent supportive housing in different ways for our chronically homeless individuals in our city. So we're trying to capitalize on that opportunity with tonight's vote. Tonight, we're approving additional $5 million in ARPA funds toward PSH units for chronically homeless. This builds on an investment. We used 100% of our home ARP funds, 10.5 million, plus an additional 4.8 million in partner contributions committed back in December. That adds up to $20.3 million to develop at least 165 PSH units in Fort Worth. And these are people that are experiencing chronic homelessness and we know the success stories that continue to proliferate across Fort Worth because we're providing this investment in high quality housing for our individuals that are most vulnerable. And right now, we're covering exceeding the current need of 162 units with that 165 unit investment. And with this $20.3 million investment, we're ensuring that every person experiencing chronic homelessness can have a home here in Fort Worth, Texas. The success of these PSH projects that have already been mentioned tonight, thank you for bringing light to those in last year and a half. Casa de Esperanza and New Leaf, they're truly life changing, high quality housing places for people who deserve a home, the dignity of a place over their head. But I also want to ensure you that we're working very closely with our partners at Tarrant County to think about our next step, which is on this deeply affordable housing, especially how it's affecting our students who are most vulnerable. We understand how mobility impacts students' outcomes. And if we can think holistically about how to keep families in place longer with high quality housing, I think that's a valid endeavor. So you have our commitment, we'll continue to work with Tarrant County on those efforts. With that, there's another comments from council. I think we can vote, thank you. Motion carries. MMC 22-0273, authorized execution of an agreement with the Regional Transportation Council of North Central Texas Council of Government. Governments for transportation development credits for multiple transportation projects within the city of Fort Worth. Thank you, no speakers, council. Council Member Flores. Who do approve? Thank you, in a second. Thank you. Motion, well, maybe sorry. I think they need you to vote again, Jared and Kerry. Sorry, thank you. Motion carries. MMC 22-0295, adopt attached ordinance authorizing issuance of sale of city of Fort Worth general purpose refunding in improvement bonds series 2022 tax exempt in the aggregate of principal amount, not to exceed 255 million establishing parameters with respect to the sale of the bonds, delegating authority to effect sale of the bonds by competitive bid or negotiated sale, authorizing escrow and other related agreements and enacting related provisions, adopt attached appropriation ordinance and amend the fiscal year 2022 adopted budget. Thank you, Council Member Flores. Move for approval. Second, thank you. Any other discussion? Please vote. Thank you, council. Mayor, that concludes the items on the agenda for tonight. Thank you very much, council. Not necessarily planned, but I think it's appropriate. I'm gonna close tonight's meeting in honor of Karen King Barr, who's the wife of former Mayor Ken Barr, who lost a long fought battle with cancer. There's a beautiful obituary that just posted this evening and we'll make sure that we spread the word about her, the community's ability to pay our condolences to the entire Barr family, but just wanted to close on her in honor of her. She was a wonderful community advocate and always alongside Mayor Barr in his many years of service to the community. And with that, meeting adjourned.
